Sydney Bridge Climb

Absorb a 360 degree panorama of Sydney as you journey to the summit on our original climb experience.

Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to climb the world famous Sydney Harbour Bridge!

Like an exposed spine, the outer rim delivers you to the peak, as the sky remains just beyond your outstretched fingertips.

This adventure begins with a comprehensive briefing and safety demonstration, after which you’ll be provided with a bridge-suit, communications equipment and a bridge harness that’s linked to a static line throughout your climb.

Your climbing group will be accompanied by a fully-trained Climb Leader who will guide you to the top of the bridge, – that’s 134m above sea level!

As you make your way along the outer arch of the Bridge, the steady incline to the summit gives you plenty of opportunity to take in your incredible surroundings. You’ll have 360° views of Sydney, with the Sydney Opera House to the east and the Blue Mountains and the Harbour city surrounds to the west.

There are several climb options to choose from, including a normal Day Climb, Dawn Climb, Night Climb and Twilight Climb. Climb times will be confirmed on a first time available basis, if you have a preference in time please contact our call centre at the time of booking to advise.

PLUS Every ticket to the top includes a Climb group photograph, a BridgeClimb cap, a certificate of achievement and a free pass to the Pylon Lookout.

Ideal if you’re a bit nervous and would like more support from our Climb Leaders.

You can do this Climb at dawn (limited departures), day, twilight or night.

Please note that Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb is now open to tender and therefore confirmations for these tickets will take longer than usual.

We care about the Bridge and the safety of everyone who uses it. We equip you with all the outdoor gear you’ll need for your Climb based on the day’s weather conditions and our Health & Safety Essentials.

For safety reasons, you can’t carry anything with you on the Bridge. We provide secure lockers for you to keep your things in, including phones, cameras and GoPros. Our Climb Leaders will capture photos of you during your Climb.
